PART ONE
Nam June Paik: Selected Works comprises Paik’s single channel videos from Nam June Paik Art Center Video Archives. 'Global Groove' and 'Suite 212', produced under both WGBH and WNET’s auspices in the 1970’s, visualize Paik’s idea which envisions video as social as well as creative media for human ecology.

'Global Groove', mentioned as “Musical Ecology” by Paik himself, is progressive sum-totaling of global music resources, showing music and dance with synthesized images. It suggests expansion and understanding of different cultures in the world through nonverbal communication.

'Suite 212', a set of electronic collages of New York City, displays various colors, sounds, shapes of images captured from metropolitan areas. Series of videos from Suite 212 deliver social, artistic, political, and aesthetic messages in Paik’s unique playful ways. Nam June Paik’s visual message shall be resonated in this unprecedented pandemic situation, comforting exhausted souls in the world.
